RE: [Starry Night] Getting the Most from your Binoculars

[Ralph Kimball]

Hi Ben, Macolm et al,

Thanks for the useful binocular observing tips.

I have a pair of Orion 11x80 astronomical binoculars that I love but they
are HEAVY. When I hold them manually, I can't stop the jiggling and my arms
get tired in a big hurry.

I read about a binocular support system in Sky and Telescope and bought one.
With this support system, a whole layer of faint stars (and planet moons)
becomes visible because the image isn't moving.

Strongly recomended! This made my binoculars work the way they were supposed
to.
